Gadget; I am using V2 of your layout and like it except I want to make the time and date line a little larger as my vision is not as good as I woould like and need to see the time/date frequently and more easily. How do I change the font size/bold?
Thanks for your great work!

Those changes are made in the xml file, but it's not as simple as that. if you change the font size to a larger font it will more than likely require other changes to the layout to get things to display properly. The plugins on the homescreen use a height tag and if the font is made larger it may not fit without changint the height tag of that component. Then if you change the height tag it will move everything below that plugin down the screen.

You say you are using v2 of my layout, I'm assuming you are talking about XP Mobile?

Let me know and I will see what I can do for you.

Gadget,

Great work! I took your version with the weather plugin, and customized it a bit for my own use. I had two question:

1) Is there any way to get the profile and the bluetooth on one line? It seems that each plug in takes one line on the screen, I was wondering if there was a way to im-bed plugins to put those two on one line.

2) I cannot seem to resize the Fizz display. I look at your screen shot and it fits nicely on one screen. My weather display is in much larger text and pushes a several lines to a scroll. I changed the height settings but that did not seem to work. Any thoughts?

THANKS AGAIN

There are a couple of developers over on qusers.com that have been trying to figure out a way ti get 2 plugins on one line but no luck so far that I'm aware of.

As far as the Fizz display, I don't use it so I'm not familiar with it.

The Fizz display on the home screen is controlled from within Fizz Weather itself. Go into Options/Home Screen and you can choose the icon size, # of days, and # of cities displayed.

SDM Great Work! Those home screens look Amazing!

I had actually gotten to that point, the issue I found is . . . do not try to fit 7 days on the homescreen even with small icons. The 5 day display fits perfect.

Hello. I like the my_full_home layout and would like to use it, but am having a problem with the entire home page displaying as black after I select the layout, and set both color and background image to "default". Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

[SDMahan]

Unless you modified the XML file, it should look exactly the same as the screenshot. Sometimes home.exe doesn't reset itself correctly. In the past, I would power-down, power-up, change to a simple home screen, view it to ensure it worked, then change back to the advanced home screen.

Let me know if any of this helps.
